A Specialty GPO for Independent Allergy and Immunology Practices

CIIC is a physician-founded group purchasing organization (GPO) built for independent Allergy and Immunology practices. We provide contract access, procurement support, and the operational infrastructure practices need to run a buy-and-bill program with confidence.

Clarity and Stability in a Complex Operating Environment

Independent practices today are balancing patient care with the realities of procurement, reimbursement, and access. CIIC was intentionally designed to support that balance. Through its role as a GPO, CIIC helps practices:

Access contracted pricing through aggregated purchasing.

Navigate procurement decisions tied to buy-and-bill.

Maintain access to therapies patients depend on.

Operate with more confidence in a challenging reimbursement landscape.

CIIC continues to play an active, ongoing role in patient access, advocacy and the broader specialty medicine community.

How CIIC Works

CIIC brings together independent practices to create collective purchasing strength. Here’s how:

Practices participate as members of the network
The GPO negotiates and maintains relationships with manufacturers and suppliers
Members get access to contracted pricing and procurement pathways

CIIC does not direct clinical decisions or provide medical guidance. Its role is to support the operational and purchasing side of specialty care.
